BACKGROUND:
Our lab is applying Systems Biology methods to study cancer, development and transcriptional regulation. On-going projects require expert input from an outstanding Bioinformaticist to work with molecular biologists, both in our lab and those of collaborators. (For examples of R Bremner's lab interests see: S Pattenden et al EMBO J 2002,Cancer Cell 2004, M Dyer and R Bremner Nature Rev Cancer 2005, Z Ni et al PNAS 2005, D Chen et al PLoS Biol 2007, Z Ni et al Nature Immunology, In Press).

REQUIREMENTS:
We are analyzing and integrating results from expression microarrays, miRNA arrays, ChIP-chip assays, ChIP-seq assays and genome wide RNAi screens. You must be innovative, communicate your ideas and analyses clearly. Candidates require strong database skills and good statistical backgrounds. Familiarity with genome resources, such as the UCSC Genome Browser Database, and the ability to generate custom annotation are highly valuable. Experience in microarray data-analysis, high-throughput sequence-analysis,or other -omics analysis beneficial. Background in pattern-discovery/pattern-recognition beneficial, but not essential. Experience using major open-source bioinformatics software tools, such as R/BioConductor, desirable.

LOCALE:
